Hi there,

since nobody else seems to reply, I'll give it a try.

Ah yeah, I know how it is ... :)

Sounds about right to me. As you observed correctly, we don't give  
anything 100%, based on the idea that 100% would mean being identical  
to the original, which we never are -- simply because we offer  
additional features ;)


By the way, I tried playing Draci myself for the first time this  
weekend. Seems to run fine on my MacBook Pro. But even though I am not  
a native speaker, I noticed that the english is ... "peculiar" ;-). No  
offense intended!
I wonder whether you still have the "sources" for the game data files  
-- maybe we could start a fan project to remake the english subtitles  
(and possible subtitles for other languages, maybe even additional  
languages?). Maybe some people even would want to work on a dubbing  
it ;).


Cheers,
Max
